Clinical practice. Osteoarthritis of the knee.

The patient should be evaluated for osteoarthritis of the knee, as her knee pain has limited her activities and has not been successfully treated with acetaminophen.

Neoprene thigh sleeves and muscle cooling after exercise.

Neoprene thigh sleeves effectively maintain intramuscular temperature after 15 minutes of exercise and increase skin temperature during and after exercise, possibly due to their insulating effects.

Balance impairments in individuals with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis: a comparison with matched controls using clinical tests.

Balance deficits can be identified in individuals with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis using simple, inexpensive measures, but the clinical relevance of these small deficits remains unclear.

Adjustable valgus bracing effectively reduces medial compartment load and pain while improving knee function in patients with osteoarthritis.

Declines in strength and balance in older adults with chronic knee pain: a 30-month longitudinal, observational study.

Older adults with chronic knee pain experience significant declines in balance and lower extremity strength over a 30-month period, suggesting the need for weight training in an exercise prescription.
